PELEG. A descendant of Shem in the fourth generation, according to the table of peoples given in Genesis 10:1-32 . In Luke 3:35 he stands a generation further off through the interpolation of Cainan from the LXX [Note: Septuagint.] . The etymology of the name is uncertain. Its reference may be geographical, or racial, or, as the word means ordinarily ‘a water-course,’ it may denote a land cut up by streams.
